The award is the highest possible compliment that the industry can bestow as it is a ‘best of the best’ award which is voted by Kerry Logistics’ peers.

George Yeo, Chairman of Kerry Logistics Network Limited said: “This is a major honour for Kerry Logistics to be recognized for the top award at the region’s leading supply chain event. We would like to thank our customers, the shippers who voted for us and the professional panel of judges.”

To win the top award of ‘Supply Chain Partner of the Year’, the selection process involved three secret rounds of voting. In the first round the top six companies in the overall corporate awards were selected via anonymous voting. In the second round three out of the six companies were selected.
